Venue 5126

e and helpful in the midst of our panic. We felt like they genuinely wanted to help us have our perfect day despite so many changes. We met with our coordinator, Kristen, only once and she was incredible and so organized. She was so great the day of and took care of everything so we didn’t have to worry about details - even something as small as making sure we had the drinks we wanted at our seats when the bar closed for dinner. The rest of the staff were so kind the day of, helping things run smoothly. We truly are so grateful for our experience at Emerson Creek. It blew all of the other venues we previously visited (including the one we originally booked) out of the water. The barn and tent were so beautiful. The field we were able to have our ceremony in was so beautiful. and that patio!! It was amazing with the most perfect sunset and the view of the field was perfect for our bride/groom portraits. Our guests were blown away at how wonderful it was. We feel so lucky to have found Emerson Creek and that we were able to have our wedding the day we wanted to postpone to there. There isn’t a more beautiful place or staff!!!

run smoothly and without any issues. Lisa, our stylist, made the venue look fantastic and even added little touches to make it personal! It was beautiful! Tina made our cake and took care of our sweets bar and it was a huge hit! She even added a touch of yellow flowers to the chocolate covered strawberries to look like our sunflower theme! We used props like the hitch for late night pizza and the VW bus for the photo booth and our guests were in awe! It was so much fun and creative! EC did not disappoint in any way! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a dream wedding. If I could do this day again, I wouldn’t change a thing! Thanks EC for the best day of our lives!

have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day - a bride's dream! Molly styled the venue to absolute perfection. I truly could not have wished for a more perfect venue to celebrate the best day of our lives. I would recommend Emerson Creek to any couple looking for an ideal wedding venue. There are not enough wonderful things that I could say to do this establishment justice - the peace of mind that came with the level of professionalism that Emerson Creek offers allowed me to enjoy every moment of my wedding day completely stress-free. Thank you for making my wedding day more magical than I could have imagined.

ing planning process much less stressful! Molly, the venue stylist, was so easy to work with and oh-so talented by putting our wedding vision to life! Sue, from My Chef Catering, was heaven sent. She was the sweetest and we really enjoyed working with her! Everyone working for this venue made us feel like the priority and really aimed to go above and beyond for what we wanted for our wedding day. The grounds and venue is beautiful- SO unique! All of our guests were blown away and could not stop complimenting the venue/ our wedding the whole night and they still continue to do so :) It was the perfect day. Highly recommend this venue- it is truly worth every penny!

nothing short of amazing. They made our day extremely special. A big thank you to day-of-coordinator, Kristen Gerwig. She met with us 3 times and was there on our wedding day ensuring every single moment was running smoothly. We had a lot of rain, but it did hinder our day one bit. It was beautiful indoors for the ceremony. Love this place!! Wish we could get married there again and again.

took care of everything, leaving you no room to worry about forgotten details. Kristen, Molly, Evan and the whole EC team were so unbelievably helpful, sweet, professional and timely the day of the wedding as well, it was as if they were part of our wedding guests right there along with our friends and family. I can honestly call them family at this point, I just adore them. Not only is the team wonderful, the venue is just BEAUTIFUL. The barn, the field, the ceremony locations, everything was just PERFECT and far surpassed our dreams for a wedding venue. So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was, how great the food was (shout out to MyChef Catering too!), how professional the staff was, etc. My husband and I talk about how perfect our wedding was daily because of Emerson Creek. You honestly do not have to look any further, just book them, ASAP. You won't regret it :)

helped us navigate our arrangements. Molly was a delight with handling our many decorative items for styling and set up. Tina designed and everyone raved about the deliciousness of all the cake flavors! Emerson Creek made everything so easy for us and can not say how much I enjoyed working with them for our wedding! I would highly recommend any future couple who is looking for a charming atmosphere, excellent service, and caring staff to consider Emerson Creek for their special day!

this venue for anyone looking for a unique and special place to get married :)

e service and how beautiful the venue was. Molly helped us style our wedding, and it was exactly what we wanted/envisioned. It’s such an amazing place to have a wedding, and you definitely know you’re in great hands with this staff. Many people told us it was the best wedding they’ve been to. A huge thank you to EC for helping make this the best day of our lives!!

t as gorgeous as the other options. The set up of the venue gives your guests so many fun options of things to do throughout the night, you can hang out in the barn and dance, or take a break sitting on the patio outside having a late night snack or s’mores. The staff is absolutely wonderful. I had the opportunity to talk to the owners multiple times, they love getting to know their couples! Kristen was such a fantastic coordinator- she really makes you feel confident the day will go smooth, and Molly is so talented her decorating skills are amazing ! Sue and the staff at my chef did an amazing job too! I don’t know their names, but all the bar tenders and other staff at Emerson worked so hard and were so kind! One woman even sprinted to the bridal coop to get my bouquet that I forgot before I was about to walk down the aisle ! I had so many guests compliment that it was a 10/10 wedding ! All the vendors Emerson recommends are exceptional as well! The day couldn’t have been more perfect! I’m obsessed and wish I could relive it over and over !

o helpful and made sure everything was taken care of. The venue is so beautiful and our guests loved it.

we found you, your staff courteous, welcoming and responsive. All of our guest without exception were full of compliments about the total service Emerson Creek Wedding events provided us. Thank you for all your support and commitment to the day. The initial dialogue and planning process with Kristen and Molly (Stylist), was professional with a true interest in making the dinner and reception flawless. The entire evening went so well. The final set up of the venue for dinner and reception looked stunning. It was truly nice to arrive at Emerson Creek and instantly know everything was under control. Kristen, from years of hosting weddings at Emerson Creek, knows their event space very well. She knew what worked and what may not come off as well as we were thinking. Additionally, they were flexible, allowing us to supplement what was already there with our own design and décor in the tent and barn area. Molly was extremely receptive to our styling the tent and barn, with additional rental items from Emerson Creek added. Including items that needed painting to match theme. Excellent balance and terrific synergy from Kristen (Emerson Creek Weddings) and Sue Jacobs (My Chef catering). Working with the two of them was seamless and that is attributed to their experience and knowledge of what does work for the Emerson Creek venue! Finally, Kristen and John (Onsite Manager) that night, especially made us feel like they were completely in control. The entire Emerson Creek staff were professional, non-obtrusive and kept behind the scene so that the bridal party and guests were the most important priority that evening. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

us off to meet their next appointment. Our first meeting with Emerson was incredibly different. They welcomed us at the first initial meeting like family, and asked us questions about what we wanted our wedding day to be. It was not a rushed "in and out" meeting, but a thorough, heartfelt discussion about Emerson as a venue, as well as what we were looking for. I knew from the first meeting that we would be in great hands, and I was right! Emerson is run like a well-oiled machine. The owners, the stylists, and Kristen all work together with the couples to ensure that each and every detail is covered and taken care of. I could not have been more relaxed on my wedding day, as I knew that nothing would go wrong due to the team at Emerson. It has been two weeks since our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was, how GREAT the food was, and how much they loved the venue. I would recommend Emerson as wedding venue to everyone and anyone I meet! Thank you so much for making our day so perfect!

I was able to get in touch with Kristen, the day of coordinator anytime during the process. Amy was an amazing stylist and made the day look better than expected. We could not be happier with the way our wedding and planning experience turned out!

ut, you won’t regret it!!

eigh to sign the venue and her sweet personality made us realize we made the right decision. Once we were closer to the date, we worked close with Kristen, the day of coordinator. She ensured that every single detail went according to schedule and was so easy to work with, you can tell she does this for a living! Every communication was timely and detailed. The week of, I had no questions or concerns, everything was wrapped up nicely. Tina, our stylist, was a dream to work with as well. She made the place look a Pinterest board. Not a single thing went wrong and the whole wedding was an absolute fantasy. We are so happy with Emerson Creek and wish we could replay the day over and over!

felt with the Emerson Creek team, and the magic that was created a few weeks ago at our wedding. Things to consider that I really appreciated in retrospect: the ceremony space options are far off the main road, so no road noise. Kristen is an incredible day-of coordinator, and the team of Stylists will take your details and create you a space that feels personal and beautiful. Everyone we encountered from the Tea Room staff to the awesome guys that set up the dining room were happy to be there, and happy to help us. During the evening, absolutely everything was taken care of, and no detail was spared. I didn't worry about a thing that night; I was able to simply focus on feeling the pure joy every bride wants to feel on their day. And yeah, I lucked out with the weather - there were literally freaking rainbows over the pergola during our ceremony - so consider your time of year, but if vintage/rustic/barn (and we added 1920's Prohibition/Harry Potter to that mix) wedding is what you want, this is your place. P.S. Take pictures in the Gazebo - you won't regret it.

such grace. We are so happy that we can visit again for anniversary dinners.

wouldn't need a single extra decoration if the client desired (we did decorate quite a bit however). Further, Emerson includes many things in their wedding package that many other venues dont. They include a day of coordinator, they include tables, chairs, and linens (with some good color options). They work with MyChef (an amazing catering company) and include the MyChef pricing in their price to reduce confusing and juggling. They have their own design team you can choose from if you desire. There team is very accommodating and it is clear they aimed to specialize in weddings. A feature we didn't realize how much we would enjoy was the patio. As our wedding night went on we noticed the dance floor was pretty quiet. We quickly figured out why! Our friends and family were out on the patio. As with many families, they don't get to be together like this very often and were really enjoying that they had somewhere a bit quieter (compared to the dance floor) to talk and enjoy eachothers company. But don't be discouraged! they barn and dance floor were a fantastic place to cut a rug!

en our Event Coordinator , Caitlyn our Pastry Chef, Tina our Stylist, Karen for our Rehearsal dinner, Susan from My Chef for our reception dinner. Our Wedding went off perfectly! It was truly a dream come true.Our guest and us of course cannot stop talking about how absolutely beautiful the day was! Thank you Ladies at Emerson Creek for our perfect wedding day!!

ent decorations and upkeep really show how much pride these people have in their business. The patio is beautiful, and the way they have converted the barn into a warm and inviting event space works wonderfully. The decorators they contract with are stellar and incredibly helpful when it comes to setup and design advice. The issues that we had were few, but considering the price of the venue I would have expected fewer headaches. That same attention to detail shows in a negative way when it comes to the level of accommodation to the client’s personal preferences and restrictions. Options for the event schedule, vendors, etc. are quite limited, and any deviation from their “recommendations” is bound to cause frustration. I get it, they have a business to run, and having three weddings per weekend in the summer months is much easier to coordinate if every client has the same basic timeline. But the penalties for last-minute changes and having people still at the venue past midnight, not to mention trying to tailor the day around their (strict) liability rules, added a level of stress to the already stressful task of planning a wedding. To illustrate my point, despite the microscopic attention to detail, somehow there was a missing chair at the head table (four place settings, three chairs) and the decorative shutters behind my wife and I fell on top of us during one of the toasts. Neither of these things were a big deal, but it just goes to show that you can be as particular as you want; unplanned things are going to happen anyway. All things considered our experience on the day of was wonderful, and we would absolutely recommend EC for a wedding venue. These people care about what they do and they will make sure your day is one to remember!

it us, our personality and style 2) a low stress venue. Not only did this fit our criteria, but it surpassed it! Planning a wedding includes many details and some that you may not think of! Kristen, the event coordinator, made sure that everything was taking care of in a timely and kind manner during the pre wedding process. The day of the wedding, everything flowed so well, and any hiccups (which might have been one and had to do with an outside vendor) Kristen managed that very well without needing to bother us during our special day. The rentals and stylists were a pleasure to work with. There and so many lovely rentals to choose from and Amy, our stylists, covered every detail and made the venue absolutely stunning! Thank you so very much, from the bottom of our hearts!

couples!

f them make you feel like one of a dozen, but not Emerson. For our first tour, we were immediately hugged upon arrival and treated like friends. Anyone else we passed along the way introduced themselves too. We felt right at home. The tour was wonderful and got us very excited about the venue (gorgeous!). I remember leaving in tears because I could picture getting married there so clearly! We chose to make our payments in person, so we always tried to schedule our visits around an Emerson event. We met the stylists this way and we were sold! They were excited and enthusiastic and they’d break down at the end of the night. :) After the multiple casual visits, we finally had our first visit with the day of coordinator (Kristen) and stylist (Lara). Kristen really helped keep us on track logistically. She was supportive when we had no clue what an answer should be, and helped us build up our vision of the wedding. Lara was so great at putting the vague ideas we had into something concrete and realistic. We absolutely love the rustic feel of Emerson, but thought it brought all the “rustic” styling we needed- so we chose to play up the elegance instead of the rustic. Lara was the perfect person to partner with on this task! She had an eye for exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I was blown away at the decor- between Lara and my florist, everything was picture perfect and was better than what I had envisioned. Not a single person bothered me with silly questions- because Kristen was there to absorb it all. I was treated like a princess all day long and just couldn’t picture my wedding day going any other way. Emerson Creek made my dream wedding come true!

lutely stunning everything was! We loved everything! The ECE staff were fantastic throughout the day! They were so attentive and just wonderful!!!! The My Chef team, the food... oh the food was DELICIOUS! It was perfect!!!!! We truly loved our venue for a day we will remember forever.

ay of planner and Lara as our stylist. They both did wonderful jobs at executing the wedding of my dreams. I am so thankful that we decided to have our wedding at Emerson Creek and would not hesitate to recommend this venue!

w amazing the venue is. The space is so seamless, with the cocktail hour just steps away from the ceremony site and the outdoor space for people to sit in if they don't feel like dancing. And so many places to take beautiful pictures! Just SO SO amazing!

othly and we just had a blast! Book it!

make all my dreams come true. The venue is stunning and unique. We did not want a typical ballroom wedding because it is just not the type of couple my husband and I are. In our search, we looked for places with both inside and outside options. As a bride, it was such a comfort knowing that Emerson Creek had a back up plan in case of inclement weather. You never know what you are going to get in October in Illinois! We were married on a perfect fall day. My hours and hours of prayer had been answered, and God was faithful! It was 75 degrees and sunny, and the pond at Emerson Creek was the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding. We worked with Kristen as our event coordinator and Tina as our stylist, and having this team was the greatest investment. Kristen always made me feel at ease and was a great go-to person for the vendors. No detail was unimportant to her, and I felt like our entire event was in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend the use of an Emerson Creek stylist. Kristen and Tina helped to map out of day and were there the day of to make sure that everything ran smoothly. Both were quick to answer emails, and were very knowledgeable and helpful in the wedding planning process. Emerson Creek has a variety of rentals and I am so grateful to have been able to work with Tina to make our wedding perfect. Emerson Creek’s barn was exactly how I pictured our wedding: a place where people could feel at home and comfortable celebrating. We had the barn doors open so people could take in the stunning sunset views on the farm, had pew and couch seating so people could sit and talk, and we had décor that was a nod to who we are as a couple with little touches of home in every nook and cranny. When I walked in to see the venue I literally cried tears of joy. The staff at Emerson Creek got it all right. That picture I had in my mind for years was a reality. Emerson Creek uses MyChef catering as their caterer. This was another huge blessing in my opinion, as I have been using MyChef as our caterer at my work events for years. The Emerson Creek Staff and the MyChef staff work seamlessly together to make the event run smoothly, and people LOVED our menu. I was so grateful to have options, and to have a team that works together regularly to help things go as planned. If we could do it all again, I would do it all the same. My husband and I were THRILLED with our wedding at Emerson Creek. As a bride in her 30’s, I have been to a lot of weddings. My friends have been to a lot of weddings. And I must tell you the number of compliments we received regarding the venue and the staff were numerous. Emerson Creek Pottery and Tearoom is truly a fairytale venue, and I am so grateful to have had the privilege of marrying the man of my dreams there.

xceptional. You do have to find your own liquor for this venue, however use their recommended vendor BJ. He is both an extremely reasonably priced but will bring more over if you run out for some reason at the wedding. If you have special liquor requests BJ will find it and make it happen for your day. We decided to hire one of their coordinators, Lara to help with designing the many available spaces. Their services are worth every penny! She went out of her way to make every inch of the property come alive with our vision. Don't miss an opportunity to have a wedding that could be heralded by family and friends as "The best ever!"

rket days. Our wedding was October 6th and it was everything we wanted it to be. As many others have said in their reviews, several guests came up to us and told us that the wedding was one of the best they've ever been to. Kristen, the day of coordinator, and Tina our stylistic were fantastic. We could not have done it without them, they were always available to answer questions, and let us relax knowing everything was under control the day of. We are so glad we chose Emerson Creek and we look forward to all of our future visits to the tearoom.

w amazing it was once our wedding decor was in (thanks to Lara, our EC stylist, who is absolutely amazing and a doll to work with). Many guests told us that with no exaggeration it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I got married less than a month ago and can't wait to go back to Emerson Creek for lunch/just to visit because I miss it so much already! No one could possibly be disappointed with this venue.

tor, gave us a tour of the grounds and won us over within 5 minutes. For the next year and a half she would be the first big piece of our wedding puzzle. If I had a dollar for every question she answered I would never have to work again! We then signed our contract with Melissa who is the Jack of all trades. She handled our signing process, all the finances, and was the best bartender around! Lara and Tina were in charge of styling, bringing my wedding vision to life, and boy did they! They are such creative women, with the most bubbly and enjoyable personalities! Catering was handled for us with Sue at MyChef. She was so thorough during our meetings, down to the color and placement of each napkin. I couldn't have been more confident in the presentation of our event. Did I mention the food was absolutely delicious! Last, but certainly not least, we were provided the most incredible wedding coordinator - Kristen. She was with us every step of the way. Her communication, organization, and professionalism were off the charts! I have never trusted someone as much as I trusted her to handle such an important day in our lives. I could go on for days, but to put it simply, each member of the Emerson Creek team made sure everything was taken care of for us, just the way we wanted. Not to mention, I (along with anyone I've spoken to) believe it is the most gorgeous wedding venue in the Chicagoland area. Thank you Chris, Dave and family for hosting the best day of our lives! Outside of our wedding - They hosted my bridal shower (where I was approached by many) saying it was the best shower they have ever attended. They have the most delicious food, the cutest country decor, and the friendliest staff members. We had our Rehearsal Dinner on site as well, which was so convenient for the wedding party. Karen the restaurant manager was beyond accommodating, we can't thank her enough. The best thing about having your wedding at Emerson Creek is you can continue going back to enjoy a place that is so special to you. You can visit the Tearoom restaurant for a fresh lunch, and I just love checking their new menu every week! They also host monthly themed vintage markets where you can shop for items from local vendors while enjoying the scenery. This week will be my third yoga and wine class with my girlfriends, such fun in their beautiful barn! The list goes on an on! See you soon Emerson Creek, Nicole & Jack 8-26-17

run seamlessly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We worked with the stylists and Tina went above and beyond to make our décor fit our vision. She even made custom pieces that we will now have for life. Meeting with her for our styling appointments was my favorite part of wedding planning. My husband and I wish we could go back and re-live our wedding day over and over. I cannot thank Emerson Creek and staff enough for coordinating our wedding day! It was truly more than we could have ever hoped for.

n hour and a half from Chicago but throughout the reception, they kept coming up to me and saying that they completely understood as soon as they got there. Everyone was blown away by how beautiful it was and it was definitely worth the drive. Kristen, our day of coordinator, was so helpful and accommodating and really helped reduce my stress both before and on the day of our wedding. We feel so lucky that we found Emerson Creek for this important day of our lives!

ntry vibe for our reception and they certainly delivered. The whole staff was easy to work with and amenable to our vision for the big day. We are now two months out from our wedding and we still get comments daily about how much fun our guests had at our reception. From the catering to the decorating and styling to the advice to the overall setting, it was spot on. We couldn't have been more thrilled with how it all turned out. Thanks, Emerson Creek, for making our wildest dreams come true!

our first viewing of the property was in December of 2015 and we fell in love! We met the owners that day who were both just working around the property and they were so kind! There's something to be said about an incredibly successful family run business. (Bonus, they have an adorable dog that just wants love and pets). I was never stressed while in the hands of their event coordinator Kristen and stylists Lara and Tina. My mind was always at ease and their positive energy made it that way. The venue, although set in the middle of a farm atmosphere, had a gorgeous view from the back patio of land and backroads. I could go on forever but I highly recommend this venue to all brides! It may be a barn, but it can be anything you want it to be. Thank you Emerson Creek team for giving me the best day of my life.

e helped us with our planning all the way through, and was there the day of our wedding to make sure everything went flawlessly. I visited Emerson Creek many times over the year I spent planning my wedding, and every time I did I felt like I was home. The staff is beyond amazing, they all treat you like family. The venue itself is gorgeous, and offers you options on where to have your ceremony. We also used Joanna's services to help style and set up the day of the wedding. It was so helpful to not have to worry about a thing. Emerson also provides you with a list of their "preferred vendors" which I found to be extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Emerson Creek as a wedding venue.

e-live it over and over again. Thank you to amazing staff for working as a family and to My Chef for the amazing food!

delicious! I would highly recommend Emerson Creek to any couples looking for a unique, but beautiful wedding venue.

g day. After an awful experience with the first barn venue we visited, we decided we would check out Emerson next. We were immediately taken a-back by the breathtaking beauty of the venue. We were SPEECHLESS as we wandered through, taking it all in. I think what really sold us, though, was the people. The owners Chris and Dave are the most amazing people. They made us feel at home immediately and all the bad memories of other venues disappeared. We put down our deposit that day and didn't look back. The staff at Emerson is AMAZING. Our coordinator Kristen was wonderful. She is super organized, and always made sure we were taken care of. Sue from My Chef (Emerson's caterer) is one of our favorite people in the world. She is such a sweet woman and we are so glad we got to work with her. We also feel extremely thankful that we were able to work with Emerson's stylist, Joanna, of Joanna Goss Designs. Her work is BEAUTIFUL and she made our wedding look like something out of a magazine. Everyone on staff at Emerson became like a part of our family and now that our wedding is over I will truly miss hanging out with these wonderful people! Even vendors that we hired separately commented on how everyone there was so nice to work with. Over all, Emerson Creek made our dream wedding into a reality. We feel extremely grateful that we were able to start our life together somewhere so wonderful. Thank you Chris, Dave, Kristen, Joanna and everyone at Emerson for making our day so special, and thank you for welcoming us with open arms into the Emerson family. We love you guys! See you soon for lunch at the tearoom and maybe at the next vintage market :)

rly know Emerson and the staff well. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I was in my very own fairy tale. My husband and I would give anything to relive our wedding over and over again. Thank you Emerson!

questions! Tons and tons of beautiful scenery for pictures too!!

om the very beginning, the staff at Emerson was helpful and completely attentive to details. Our wedding coordinator, Kristen, paid attention to even the most tiniest of details - thinking of and suggesting ideas that we never would have imagined to make our day perfect. The on-site staff the day of the wedding was precise and meticulous...yet, they were unnoticeable by the guests and blending in effortlessly - they were each pleasant and helpful. I cant say enough about how charming this place is - our pictures are amazing. The grounds and the barn are a perfect setting for a romantic wedding. I wish I could do it all over again to enjoy the day one more time! And their caterer - oh my goodness - people are still raving about the food. Love, love, love this place. Emerson Creek gave my husband and I a fabulous wedding celebration. I cant wait to go back to enjoy our anniversaries and special occasions at the Tea Room - its a place we can go back to again and again to relive our perfect day...

pits, and amazing staff made it an experience, not just a wedding. The vendors worked seamlessly together and the ceremony and reception were stress free. Thank you Susan, Joanna, Tina, and Kristen!

would love to point out. 1. Your day of the event coordinator - SO HELPFUL! We were blessed to have Nichole be our day of the event planner and she was always on her game! From answering countless emails for months preparing for the wedding, our-meet ups to go through the wedding plan + her assistance for the rehearsal and day of - Nichole was incredible! Her support, direction and sweet spirit really helped us to have a sense of ease and released so much stress throughout the process. 2. MyChef- DELICIOUS + ORGANIZED! We originally felt a little nervous choosing a venue without trying the food - but those concerns ended up being pointless!! Sue (our support through MyChef) was super thorough and kind!! The tasting that MyChef sets up is such a treat, and all of their options are fantastic! I don't think you could go wrong with any of their dishes, but their were also enough options to pick based off of preference, etc. We received so many compliments on the food at our wedding - and a HUGE thank you to Sue for being always on point, helpful, approachable + seriously the sweetest!! 3. Joanna- HIRE HER! The fact that Emerson offers rentals allows the planning process to be SO much easier, but hiring Joanna was the best additional expense we made our entire wedding planning process!! Joanna truly helped us come up with our vision of our dream wedding, then collaborated with us + did exactly what was needed to make that vision become a reality. Walking into the venue being decorated by Joanna with our special touches changed the space from a venue to our wedding + it brought us to tears. I'm so grateful Emerson has the option to incorporate Joanna in your wedding process and REALLY recommend including her in your wedding planning process! I don't think I could recommend Emerson Creek enough!!

any of my questions or even offered to check date availability for me. I booked a tour anyway because the venue was so beautiful. They had the audacity to send me a nasty text because I was FIVE MINUTES LATE (the venue is an hour and a half from my home!) telling me not to waste their time if I wasn't going to show up. I turned around and went right home, that was the very last straw for me. The place is incredibly beautiful but as far as customer service, you are definitely not getting what you pay for, especially at $130 per plate.

t, especially at night! Please if anything, take the drive and check it out. It is stunning!!

to!

on site and enjoy your day!Overall great venue for my day! More expensive than we had anticipated.

o, and we never looked anywhere else because we didn't need to. The land is beautiful--from the large tranquil pond, the gazebo in the lawn, the renovated barn with the chandeliers, long vintage curtains, and romantic lighting, the spacious white tent, the big tree we were married in front of, and the view behind us--it is simply perfect. Not only is it beautiful, but the owners and their staff are beyond helpful. They are friendly and accommodating and truly do everything they can to make your day perfect. Even though their business has grown and they are very busy in the summer, they still make you feel special and make sure you know you are a priority. My coordinator, Nichole O. was a Godsend. She kept in contact with me leading up to our wedding day and never kept me waiting for a response. The day of our rehearsal and our wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly and had everyone in their places. By the end, we felt like she was a part of our wedding party! I highly recommend her to anyone getting married here. The are currently in the process of adding an on-site catering kitchen so that all food can be prepared on-site, but in the meantime they have a catering partner that services the receptions and they were still AMAZING. We got nothing but compliments about the food. (I will be leaving a separtate review for the caterer, My Chef Catering, Susan Jacobs). Lastly, the way they do the bar service is AWESOME. Basically, you purchase a dram shop insurance policy, there is a minimal charge per person to cover drinkware, mixers, and bartenders, and you purchase the liquor yourself. This saved us a lot of money. We purchased a keg, wine, and liquor from Binny's and were able to return anything that wasn't opened.

ny location was outside and was beautiful. The girls enjoyed getting ready in the beautiful repurposed chicken coop, and the guys enjoyed getting ready in the tearoom and relaxing outside. Every guest at the party commented on how beautiful the location was. The reason we knew it was for us is because when you drive up you start to wonder where in the world you are at, but every door you open and each area you step into you are so magnificently surprised. It is a magical setting and we definitely found a treasure in our venue. We would highly recommend it for any event.

so helpful and friendly. I was given a wedding coordinator to work with, but she was NOT helpful at all. My mom and I did most of the work. They ended up scheduling an event the night before my wedding so I didn't end up having a rehearsal at all. They failed to call me and let me know. Cindy did show day of and everything ran smoothly for the most part day of which is what counts. Overall I had a great experience with the venue and still would recommend them.
